A while back I had located my original Sapphire Nuzlocke I was doing, and promptly wiped on Norman. I think I was supposed to be training before facing him, but forgot. So I started a new game and decided to play an easy-mode Nuzlocke.

My rules: -Catch first pokemon of the area, but no duplicates.-can only use items i pick up (no revives), but I may purchase pokeballs of any type-Must nickname all pokemon. (When I get to Slateport I can rename the pokemon I'd caught up to this point. Not sure if I like this xxxHolic theme I have going here and I mixed up the warashi's. The Taillow should be Zashiki and the Whismur should be Ame >.<)-Poison death outside of battle doesn't count, but I must use antidotes or full heals to cure it if I have them-Fainting by crit or by my spamming A and not looking at the screen results in the pokemon going into intensive care. (Box pokemon until next gym is defeated, and place a mark. If it faints after the last mark is filled, it didn't survive the operation and is dead.)-Fainting otherwise results in death.

I know, too easy. I keep wiping myself while watching TV just because I'm not paying attention, and I really need to finish this file already >.<

So at this point I'm training up my team a little before heading to Dewford. I'll be catching a pokemon in Dewford Town (probably Magikarp >.<) and in the cave before facing the gym.

Intensive Care:Yuuko Lassie, caught at level 2 (Route 101), Bashful nature, now level 10 (in intensive care, one of those spam A and not look at the screen for 5 minutes >.<)==========================================================================

edit - Finished training, caught a couple pokemon, and defeated Brawley in Dewford. Next stop: Clear Granite Cave and talk to Steven. I'm counting each floor in the caves / dungeons as different areas, so I'll be getting two more guys in there. (The reasoning being that this an EZmode run and there's different pokemon on the different floors)I've decided on the name changes I'll make in Slateport and edited them in accordingly. Next update will be after defeating (or being defeated by) Mauville's Gym Leader. I don't have much I can use against him yet... Tyson might be my best bet. Better train him up

Missed Catch: Granite Cave B2F . I even used my precious Ultra Ball that Bandit found for me, but it broke out

I cleared Granite Cave and spoke with Steven, went back to Rustboro to collect my Exp. Share, cleared the trainers at Slateport's beach, delivered the goods, defeated Team Aqua, cleared trainers on Route 110 and 103, cleared the Trick House for the first time. Somewhere along the way I put Diana in intensive care because I was spamming A like a fool. So I couldn't use her against May as planned, but I defeated May and Wally and then trained up Tyson to take on the gym.

Tyson was level 23 when I started against Watson, but i miscalculated how much damage he'd take and didn't potion up when I should have. The rest of my team wasn't really any good against him so I hadn't bothered training them up.... so full party wipe on Watson T.T In retrospect, I should have saved the potions and let him wipe me quickly, but I kept hoping against hope that I'd land a crit at the perfect moment so he wouldn't get to use his potion. Anyways...

My next attempt against Watson will be very tricky with what I have left. I have much grinding ahead of me. I kind of want to just start over, but let's see how far this team can take me. To be continued!

Beat my Sapphire run with Zoe and Koo as the only survivors.Cancelled all the others.Playing Brown now. It's a gen 1 ROM hack. My team isn't great, but it's fun.

Grats on beating your Sapphire run! I have yet to be able to finish any, no matter how easy I make it. Impatience always gets me killed >.<

I'm still grinding my team. It's taking forever T_T If I wipe on Watson again, I'm going to scrap it and start over. There will be one or two fish in my PC that I could try again with, but I'd have to really overgrind them to be able to survive.

Wow, I haven't posted here in a while. Can't even remember where I left off. Oh well, I started another nuzlocke anyway:Game: SapphireRules: Nickname all pokemon; when a pokemon faints, it goes in a PC box to never be used again; Only catch what you first encounter in each route, town, city, cave, etc; When all pokemon on the team die, it's game over; Unless the rest of the team is very good, when the starter dies, it's game over; Anything else I forgot.

Time for an update. First off I went back to Petalburg and Dewford to catch a few more pokemon.New Additions: Queenie , caught at level 6 (Petalburg City), Lonely nature, now level 14Jewel , caught at level 5 (Route 106), Docile natureBandito / , caught at level 13 (Route 117), Careful nature, now level 26

So, the pokemon I had to choose from were whismur, taillow, dustox, zigzagoon, electrike, tentacool, goldeen and magikarp. I boxed tentacool and taillow (who became a swellow whilst catching the new additions), and kept magikarp and goldeen in the team for sacrificing if need be. I intended to go into the battle with the other four at level 30, but got bored grinding. So I went in with level 30 loudred, level 26 linoone and the other two at level 20. Amazingly, I defeated Watson with only my Loudred. I did have a level advantage, but I expected the steel typing to stall her to the point of death. So my Nuzlocke shall continue a while longer ^_^ I'm going to train up all my fishies for the next gym, and retire Rita for the time being. To be continued!

I'm taking a break from my FireRed Nuzlocke (where I'm grinding for the E4), and am trying to take a stab at one on Ruby. I've made it to Rustboro, and am going to take on Roxanne soon. It's the same rules as my FireRed and evrything. Without further ado...

I got really lucky on Redwood and Patterson, although some might not agree. Slaking has incredibly high Attack and Speed stats, aside from it's horrible ability. I will avenge Victoria for sure, since I'll have plenty of oppurtubities to own some Magma n00bs in the future. For now, Herman weeps at the loss of his love. And this time, I'm making it into a comic.

_________________"I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right."- The Book Thief

a comic?! *jealous* I can't draw worth anything. will we get to see it here? (or at least get a link to it)

Depends on how long it takes me to draw the first strip. And learn how to draw. Nah, I'm just being too critical of myself. And then there's the whole uploading it to the Internet part. So truth be told, if it ever comes, it probably won't be coming for a while. Maybe I'll just write a story. Although that wouldn't convey the awesomeness enough...

_________________"I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right."- The Book Thief

Alright, so I was training and doing all that meteor story line. My gyarados was doing most of the fighting at this point but I hit a string of bad luck and he died. Swapped some pokemon around, went up to Mount Chimney, took on Archie and got hit by another string of retardedness. Many crits and self-inflicted damage due being confused later and party wipe on Archie. T_T I lost all my favorites, so I don't really want to continue.... but we'll see how far Rita can get pretty much on her own.

gl DragoBoy! hope your run goes well. =)I'm doing a variation of an egglocke now. I gave myself really easy rules, but i'll probably tweak it to be harder as I go. I didn't expect the pokemon to be so broken. (the first egg i hatched had a geodude with rock slide / fire blast / earthquake / double-edge)

I taught Redwood Bullet Seed through my TM, and I'm pretty glad to have done so. Roxanne nearly killed Sandra, and then Redwood, but he hung on at 2 HP and pulled off a 4x Bullet Seed. Phew! Anyways, I'm off chasing that Magma grunt again, so I'll mess him up pretty good for Victoria. I'm pretty glad to have gotten Felix, as I'm a big fan of the bug type and Nincada's line especially. Got to remember go be ready for him to evolve so I can get a Shedinja! Now what to name him...

On a side note, if anyone reading this can guess why I named each of my Pokemon what I did, you get a cookie! (Excluding Sandra and Herman. Felix is pretty hard though.)

So I've made it to Dewford, and decided to grind a bit before my battle. I was in B2 of Granite Cave, when out of nowhere... a Mawile! I was intent to capture it, but it ended up breaking out of most of my balls, and killing Sandra and Redwood in the process, I was about to give up, when the window (I'm using an emulator) froze, then closed out. I had saved right before the cave, so now everything is back to normal! I hope this time I can actually catch one, or even better, an Abra...

_________________"I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right."- The Book Thief

I think I'll post my Sapphire egglocke adventures here.Rules: can only purchase pokeballs (to catch fodder so i can trade over the eggs)hatch one egg per areafaint = deathmust nickname all pokemon (i forgot to name 2 of them >.< I'll fix that at Slateport)

I'm just in front of Petalburg Woods. I need to send over the next group of eggs and then train for Roxanne.Team:Rocky Littleroot Town, Sassy, Sturdy, Level 14 Rock Slide / Fire Blast / Earthquake / Double-Edge

After I finish Brown I think I'll try to do a comic run. But that won't be for a long time.

On another note, just caught an Abra in Brown, still training for gym 1 because I play uber slow.

I finally got around to beating Roxanne. I'm sticking with the team i have for now and will only hatch more eggs if someone dies. Forgot to name my final team member as well >.< but I can fix that at Slateport. What was funny was I traded away my original starter for one of my eggs, and ended up with the egg being the same pokemon

I'm an evil double-poster But I have defeated Watson! Wiped his team with a single Geodude, which was a nice change from last time when he wiped my entire team. I got everyone named properly and Ace, Nelly and El Diablo evolved. Anyways, continuing on to Flannery's gym. Hopefully I make it there this time ^_^ Since my team is so broken with moves, I've been going into battles slightly under-level.

El Diablo Petalburg Woods, Naughty, Blaze, Level 20Rock Slide / Overheat / Flamethrower/ Cut -> Double Kick. In a perfect world, I'd have tossed cut, but I need that stupid move for exploration purposes.==========================================================================Edit - R.I.P. Ace and Maggie. Both fell to Archie's Sharpedo. Not sure which attack got them, because I wasn't actually paying attention at the time. I imagine Crunch was the culprit. Hatching replacements and training them up a bit before heading to Flannery

Don't worry Dangertrout! I'm still in it! I just haven't been posting much lately, as I'm just grinding now for my FireRed E4. Herbert and Aquario were the only two good members left in my team, so I'm working to make the rest of my guys even stronger! Good luck on your Egglocke! (Also, I've been getting ideas ready for my comic, and have looked through a couple of how-to-draw Pokemon books, and hope to start once I have a spare second to draw )

_________________"I have hated the words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right."- The Book Thief

I'm at the weather institute about to destroy those aqua grunts Over and done with, beat May aswell. Casper died soon after I got him. He beat the first three of Wattson's pokes but Magneton KO'd him. But he was Shedinja, so what do you expect? I replaced him with a Marill from route 117 who single handedly defeated the entire fire gym. BB died later on and was replaced with a Swablu.

Canceled Brown, but I'm getting really into both of my gen 4 cartridge games and making huge progress, so once I'm done with them I'm probably gonna restart Soulsilver for a Nuzlocke. I'm probably going to pick Chikorita.

People always talk about how Chikorita doesn't get type match-ups with gym leaders in Johto, but hey, there's more to the game than gyms, lots of other trainers use rock/ground/water types. And hey, a high-defense grass type is a force to be reckoned with. Dual screens, status moves, synthesis- Meganium is a utility MONSTER, and with swords dance can actually be a powerhouse of a physical attacker.

Sure, weakness to the first gym leader, Falkner is pathetically low-leveled and there are multiple locations where you can catch both rock and electric types before fighting him, plus lots of type-neutral 'mons.Keeping a ten-foot-pole between Chikorita and Bugsy you're perfectly fine, 'cause hey, remember those rock types I mentioned earlier? Now there are even MORE places you can catch them! Whitney's a great time to show off that Bayleef that you've probably got by now. Complete type neutrality, and Whitney is known for wrecking teams with that Miltank, it has powerful attacks, attract to be a troll, and milk drink to keep going. Know what I say to that? Hey, Whitney, this is a friend I call poisonpowder, you may not like her very much. Oh yeah, don't worry, that's just reflect, it makes your full attacking moveset really weak. Oh you did some damage to me while I was setting up, no worries, here's synthesis. Oh yeah, these razor sharp leaves are just gonna slice you to bits now. LOL And you say Bayleef is bad?Morty is not the ideal place for Bayleef to be used with all his pokes being immune to poison status and resistant to grass attacks. So no. Not here.Oh look, Chuck, he's just asking for a reflect right in his face, and a good ol' razor/magical leaf would just love the face of that Poliwrath.Jasmine could see some Bayleefage, though unlikely.Pryce, nuh-uh.Clare, again, maybe, and by now you should be Meganiuming it up.Meganium could also see use against Will's Slowbro and most of Bruno.

And then there's Kanto.Surge? Eh, maybe if you have to. Sure, Meganium resists, but at this point, c'mon, you should have a big bulky EQ user to laugh at Surge.Anyway, Sabrina's team is mostly made of special sweepers that would just love a big fat tank with light screen in their face.Erika? Janine? You've got better options.Misty? Meganium will guaranteed make short work of Golduck and Quagsire, and with light screen if you're willing to take some risks from ice beam could probably sweep all of Misty.Oh, Brock. Meganium get's 4x type advantage over his entire team. Even with weak attacks, the whole battle is just a joke.Blaine? You have a big earthquake user for that, remember?Blue? Meganium can easily face Rhydon and Machamp, more if you're willing to take some (small) risks and strategize.

Red? Well you figure it out, Meganium can see some use there. You've got multiple full accuracy blizzard users, but I bet your mom has been buying you a bunch of those type advantage berries you don't know what to do with. Weaken an ice attack, light screen, and then do your thing Meganium. Like a boss.

And remember what I said earlier, gym leaders aren't the whole game. Remember all those fisherman, with their Goldeen, Seaking, Remoraid, Octillery, and other stupid fish that no one remembers, that you killed your badass Meganium? Remember those Hikers who you laughed at when they sent out their rock/ground types? Remember every single last delicious Quagsire? Yes. You will. Seriously, give it a chance, you'll discover it's kind of a BOSS. Even though I haven't used it yet. But still, theoretically. I'm gonna stop sabotaging myself now. Go pick Chikorita.
